Problems getting to the ground, never mind off it.
An exchange with the Septic Maestro:
Claudia—If it appears I've been avoiding you, you're right. I've
got at least one and a half systems to do before I can get to surf
city. Maybe you should get the footings in before we do the septic system. If they are concrete there will be lots of digging and pouring traffic
which will be hindered by septic. DBD
Dave—Well, the house is on piers. The holes will be dug by hand, footings poured and bricks laid. I was rather hoping that you would do the site work as well, which basically is moving some bushes and giving the mason room to put in his footings. The site would be where all the biggest bushes are, naturally. I suppose I can find somebody else (and the luck of the Irish to me) to do the site clearing. Maybe.
When do you think you might get around to me? Gulp.
Claudia—I'm heading out today and will be out for the week. We can certainly take bushes out when we have the machine there. I didn't know if you needed stuff cleared before we get there. When are you there?
Soon, I guess, since I have to hump hay around before any digging is done.
fair warning: on block island or manhattan or in missouri, we can be a little salty
What's the point of the hay bales? What are they used for?
ReplyDeleteThe hay provides a barrier to keep from destroying the surrounding environment. It will prevent disturbance from the wetlands and salt pond areas.
ReplyDeletePlease Lady: Even so Li's heart is So Far Under, please to not use movement of hay to incite lusty thoughts in Li's rivals.
ReplyDeleteExpression, and popular series Dear Uncle, is Six Feet Under.
ReplyDeleteGoddess intends merely to sheep hay around.
That's shlep, girlfriend. Honestly!
ReplyDeleteI hardly know what to say. I thought Mr. Li had finally gotten the message that I was SO not interested. In his products or services. And that was a relief.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet. . .
I found myself missing the guy. Go figure.
